Fabulous. Great lyrics and a great vibe.

[TanteA]

Hi Ron, back for another listen. I only want to say you that I still love that song very much.

Nice greetings!

Anette

[shas1814]

Nice song!

Sounds like some of the sweeter stuff from the '60s and '70s.

Englebert Humperdink, maybe?

I like it-

sweet and strong!

[grinke49]

so simple and great :))

[thewintersessions]

Ron! this is so good. really simple and beautifal man. honestly, so melodic, i love the swing, sort of jazzy. sounds like something tony bennet would sing, love it!

[rhopen]

Winter, it is very nice to hear from you my friend. I hope things are good with you. Talk to you again soon. -Ron

[sistermoonshine13]

This is so LOVELY!!!! *****

[xxxSunbeamxxx]

What a heartfelt, thoughtful song this is, Ron. I am sorry I havent been to your Channel in a little while. I havent been on so much - we had a spell of great weather (for us!!) in the UK and I was out basking in the sun :).....I hope you are well. Nice to see you again :)

Hey Ron,

its a very nice new song and intrument - I'm not shure, what I like more:-)

Greatings from Wolfgang

[rhopen]

Thank you Wolfgang, and you know that is an acoustic/electric tenor Ukulele I am playing... You should consider one of these, It would sound great pluged-in on stage I would think :o) Have a great day. -Ron

[rhopen]

Hey Anne, I just listened to Scared of Heights, and oh my goodness, what a great song and peformance... This guy is really good... The Itsybitsy Spiders could do this song some time I think :o) Oh and, I love your little Uke... it is every bit as good as that thing I am playing (it is really a tenor Ukulele, which is just an overgrown uke). Talk again soon Anne, and congratulations on your pending graduation from College... I actually feel poud, isn't that something :o) -Ron

[Erphilfarry]

Hey is that a new Ukulele? :)

Really nice song. I love the chord changes at 1:07.. it's really summer like. I can almost hear the maracas. Great post Ron

[rhopen]

Hey Phil, thanks a lot. Yes that is a new tenor Uke made by Ovation. It is a bit bigger than the normal size uke but plays exactly the same. Thanks again Phil. -Ron

[monicasmix]

WOW!!! I really like this one!!!!!!!!

Monica

[rhopen]

Thank you Monica. -Ron

[MaureenKilgore]

Hey Ron- It's been a while.I love the chord changes here, and your rhymes are sweetly phrased. This is one of the best I've heard of yours, I think. - Mo

[rhopen]

Hey there Mo, great to hear from you. Thank you and I'll have to get over to your channel to catch up very soon. Talk to you later, -Ron

[mettanc]

do u sing first? and later sing along with your recording?

u r off the rickter!

michael

[rhopen]

Hello Michael,

I normally sing and play the "video" parts live. In this vid, the uke and the voice are live. I then overdubbed the harmonica to that. This is the way I normally do all of them...Keep it simple is my motto :o) Thanks, -Ron

[stewze]

It seems I forgot to comment on this wonderful piece of art.

I love it Ron, you always manage to make such great melodies which hook me in instantly :)

[rhopen]

Hello Stew, thank you, and I'll be talking to you. -Ron

[KarenEng]

Such a wonderful song Ron! Great vocals too! ;)

[jwwetzel]

R0nno at it again!! I like this one ::)

[cinderellalifestyle]

this is lovely---! :-) neat uke too......! does not sound like you need them, but there's a vid post contest for free uke lessons---you mighr consider posting this there--via robbourrasaguitarist channel ...if you check my saved favs, I think you will find his UKE post advertising the contest......I'm a big fan of rob b --makes me long for a banjo, or uke...he spreads alot of music joy--in the teaching of it...again--great song!.I'll listen further;-)

Very smart song Ron, love those lyrics

[rhopen]

Hi Rob, thanks very much. -Ron

[BluegrassForte]

Great song Ron! 5*s I couldn't help but look at all of the instruments you have hanging on the wall. They look too fun to play! And . . . great ending to your video, smiles are always good! :o)

Gretsch'n

[rhopen]

Hi Gretsch'n,

I do smile a lot actually, but as soon as the camera turns on I go stone faced for some reason, haha. I finally got some of my instruments off the floor and on the wall. In the background you see a parlour banjo my big ole mandolin, and a little Yamaha guitar. They are fun to play, yes :o) Thank you very much, Lindsey, and I'll talk to you again soon. -Ron

[mysticcynic]

Glad to see another original from you! Really dig it, especially like the harmonica work. Unfortunately, the video stops working at about the one minute mark, so I can't catch the end. :(

[rhopen]

Hey Joe,

At the end I douse the uke with lighter fluid and set it on fire :o)... Oh btw, Ruby's channel was suspended for a while today... really shook me up... she's back now though thank goodness. I'd hate to have to burn YouTube down, but.... Maybe I shouldn't have said that, eh? :o) -Ron

[rhopen]

Thank you very much, David. -Ron

[starrchild99]

Lovely song Ron, with a nice feel. The lyrics are great.

[TERUKO5]

Very nice! (And sometimes it`s good to throw caution to the wind! Go for it!) 5*****

[rhopen]

Hi there Teruko, thank you very much, and yes sometimes you must go for it :o) -Ron

[misspopanoche]

Hey Ron... really enjoyed this one.. loved the harmonica solo! Very much McCartneyesque!

We had the pleasure of playing with a great harmonica player at that open mic night last week.. He came prepeared for any key and solo'd his little heart out.. was great.

~Sonya

[rhopen]

I wish I could be at some of those open mics, my goodness... got to be the best open mics every with you guys up there, haha.... oh, and harmonica? I am very lame at it, but I keep pluggin away. I want to play blues but so far all I can do are simple little melodies. Oh well, -Ron

[TanteA]

Hi Ron, and I forgot something to say: five stars from Berlin to Columbia :-) I really love the tenor ukulele...

Anette

[rhopen]

Thank you Anette, from Columbia to Berlin... such a long way, but then it is a small world after all :o) -Ron

[chaz23j]

cool song!!!! :-) I love the chords!

[jelasings]

what a sugar sweet and heartwarming and charming little song! i love it- its so beautiful! the lyrics are wonderful especially the idea with the only place for you two is in the song....very, very...very nice!!!

[rhopen]

That is a very kind comment, Daniela, and thank you very much... I hope you have those "recording" Gremlins on the run now so we can hear a new jelasings song soon... That would be so nice :o)

-Ron

[dusstead]

I like this very much, nice Ron! *****

Brian

[rhopen]

Thank you Brian. -Ron

[Oswlek]

Your voice sounds great in this one, Ron, particularly the love the "hmmmm" part.

Like the melodically uplifting ending. For some reason, I can hear David Crosby doing a great job with this one.

[rhopen]

Thanks Jason, and David Crosby is an influence no question about it. Talk to you again soon. -Ron

[bios36]

That´s a very nice song Ron
